    Service-learning (SL) combines university engagement with community needs, fostering co-responsibility and solidarity. It supports intercultural growth and integrates local and global perspectives, encouraging collaboration to address societal challenges. This paper focuses on the FLY program, a European inter-university SL initiative involving universities from Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Slovakia. Active since 2021, FLY organizes over 50 annual SL projects across 14 countries, promoting reciprocity, social justice among universities, students and partners. This study evaluates the 2023/2024 program’s impact on community partners. The results show that community partners identified significant impacts including increased visibility and networking opportunities, new perspectives, strengthened community interactions, and the educational value for students through hands-on learning and meaningful relationships with the community.

    International service-learning, volunteering networks, and social justice through the European interuniversity FLY program
    (University of Georgia : Atény, 2025) Brozmanová Gregorová, Alžbeta; Culcasi, Irene; Ávila Olías, Milagros; Arbaiza Valero, Aitor
    Service-learning (SL) is pivotal for institutionalizing university– community engagement and achieving teaching and learning goals by addressing identified needs (Compare et al., 2023). This goal aligns with the European Commission’s (2017) Agenda for Higher Education, prioritizing community engagement. SL in international collaboration offers advantages: fostering intercultural growth, providing a “glocal” perspective, facilitating knowledge exchange, and promoting innovative SL pathways. This synergy addresses global challenges comprehensively (International Commission on the Futures of Education, 2021). This article introduces the European interuniversity volunteering and service-learning program FLY, coordinated by eight universities. FLY encourages students to experience global realities during summer breaks, fostering critical thinking about power dynamics and inequality. The program emphasizes reciprocity, diversity, and social justice. Our study, examining early impacts on students and community partners, promotes equality and reciprocity between universities, community partners, and students. It analyzes the benefits for participants and community partners in the FLY Program.
